its been a while... but im still here! :)

Where is Lindsay right now?

Spiritually: getting better... i have been wrestling with some issues about marriage, unequal yoked-ness, the truth of who I am in Christ.

Side note; what a reward it is to know that the truth says I am His, and nothing can ever take that away. Seriously, I am the most blessed person on the face of the earth., and so are you if you believe what the bible says.

Mentally: Sleeping at night has become a chore. I am unsure if it is because I am in a new place, the constant itchy arms, or the loneliness. What I am sure of though, is that its a combination of all these things. :)Loneliness almost drove me to insanity yesterday. I wish I was kidding, but I am not. I can vow my word, that I am not traveling unless I am with someone. If I know I am going to be alone, for longer than a day, I AM NOT GOING! What do I think I am, an island? Mentally, I have been reshifting my thought upon the Lord, I have been allowing myself to worry and be preoccupied with low things, but today is much better. Starting the day with prayer always makes a HUGE impact on the rest of my day. Again, I am priviledged to have a way to talk with this God of love.

I have also been telling myself that I am loved, and thought well of by God and my friends. Am I the only one who ever feels like the world is against them?! haha I know I am not, that's why I have been reminding myself of these timeless truths.

Mind: Been reading books. one on communication. Short and simple, alliteration, imagination, precision are all key. say what you mean, and mean what you say.
So, that was book 1... I have also been reading books on the stock market, which I think will only prove my lack of desire further. I just think real estate is the best route for me when thinking about investing my money. unless, it has something to do with ira's, cd's or even municiple bonds. Im just stock market disinterested. Maybe one day.
Dwell Magazine: Magazine of choice. I am gleaning from their ideas just exactly what I would like to build one day for my future family. The more I think about it, the more fueled I become to build a retreat center with some treehouse cabinas, along with a studio. I would like this place to be where all the fun is at. :) I was thinking the other day, that it may be a good idea to buy a small condo on the beach somewhere, rent it out, as an income, and build my dream land in costa rica. Lord, again, I lay this all down at your feet.



Physically: I waited to answer this question last... it's so exciting! for me! maybe you too. Because i have been doing lots of studying on health lately, and have found myself super interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine. So yesterday, I went to Chinatown. (NYC) and I found a traditional chinese medicine doctor. For $10 bucks he checked my pulse, eyes, and tongue and diagnosed me with weak pulse, too much yin, and weak kidneys. Now, in western standards, this may sound sketchy. I understand, but this is eastern herbal remedies, done without equiptment, and all naturally with remedies grown from the earth. So, too much yin, means my internal world is not balanced and it's hotter than it needs to be. He asked me if I was lethargic, and immediately, I knew he was on the right track. I haven't been a little "down" in months! and for some reason, i was blue. So, anyways, the gave me some herbal remedies to help cool my insides and reestablish the homeostasis level of my body. I love that our bodies are connected mind, body and spirit. God made us this way for a reason. If one part is off, it will manifest in another area as well. SO, yeah! Yesterday, even though I was blue, i did something i have been longing to do for quite sometime. went to see a TCM doctor. It was realy chill. You should see the tea sludge I am drinking. It's so crazy, it reminds me of the "stew" I used to brew as a child with the scrapes from the yard.
